    I realized very quickly after buying gummy vitamins that it was a bad idea for this exact reason. Made me was gummy candy really bad on a daily basis.

        And for others the daily recommended has been considered far too low for a long time (US example).

        Last I checked the consensus is to skip the multi. A fistful of kale, spinach, arugula, or similar dark leaves will tend to have a more balanced profile and far lower risk of trace heavy metals and other contaminants.

        TLDR: Popeye was right. Want to be strong to the finish? Eat dat spinach!

      Not sure how many I ended up eating, but I went to my grandmother’s house one day. She was the kind of little old lady that had bowls of candy on every table in the house. The day I came over, I was helping her move the appliances in her kitchen around, so she could clean. She had a bowl of gummy bears on the counter. Gummy candy is my favorite, so I ate the whole thing while I waited for her to sweep before I moved an appliance out, or back into place. When she went to wipe down the counter she realized it was empty and asked if I ate it. I said yeah, and she informed me they were fiber supplements, of which one dose was 2, and I apparently had eaten an entire bag of them she got from Sam’s club.

      That night sucked.

      I hope you didn’t eat 67 of them. I once ate three brownies, which were spaced without my knowledge, and on this night I flew to the moon and came back the next day at noon. While at work. That was a different experience.

    Wait are vitamins a slang for edibles? I almost commented something about them not being vitamins either but then realized i could have a whoosh moment.

      I too assumed they were talking about marijuana gummies even though I’m fully aware there are also gummy vitamins
